Patented Apr. 25, 1933 UNITED STATES P TENT AOFFICRE STEPHEN JOHN DURANEY, 0F J'OHNSTOWN', PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 SAIEUEL RICHARD BLOCK, OF JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA PERMANENT WAVE wmnnn I Application filed July 1, Serial No. 375,068.

My invention relates to improvements in permanent wave winders for applymg or winding hair on permanent wave rods and the objects of my invention are:

Firsu-To permit one to wind or wrap strands of hair upon plain round rods which are mostly used in permanent waving.

Seconcl.To wind the hair to the said rods mechanically without adding any more weight to the rod or head than is required with hand winding. I

I attain these objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a side View of the permanent wave winder.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a view of the opposite side.

Figure 4 is a view of the Winder and 1ts application.

Figure 5 is a sectional view showing the inside of the knob.

In the embodiment of my invention illustrated I have shown the same adapted to cooperate with a permanent wave rod of cylindrical formation, such as is in use in the greater number of permanent wave machines today. It is understood, however, that my device may be utilized with machines using rods having planar surfaces or of otherwise suitably formed construction without departing from the spirit of my invention.

In this form of the invention then the handle portion 1 having the cylindrical, chamfered part for acting as a finger hold during the operation and the body part 2 is axially bored as shown at 3 for close sliding relationship with the rod. It will be easily understood that this bore will guide the device along the rod during the operation. Phe bore is flared at its inner extremity as shown at 4 in Figure 5 to facilitate passage-of the rod from the bore to the winding chamber soon to be described, during the positioning of the winder on the rod. V The winding chamber 5 isof cylindrical formation and of greater internal diameter than bore 3, thus providing an annular space between the inner Walls thereof and the rod.

It-has an opening 6 therein of rectangular formation with the exception of one side which'is tapered. 'Thewalls of the chamber are so formed on this fourth side that a slot communicating with the opening is provided,

running to the extremity of the chamber.

' This slot appears most clearly in Figure 2.

Thechamber is connected to thehandle Portion l-by means of the tapered wall-7.

-The'portion of the chamber5 adjacent the slot is extended outwardly as shown at8jto form a' lip, which cooperates with the part of the wall indicated-at 9 to guide the hair through the slot and into the opening 6 as will be described later in the specification. V

The upturned part 10 of the lip '8 and the cutaway part of the wall Qalso serve to facilitate this passage of the hair. From theforegoing description the use and operation of my device is easily understood. '70

shown at 12, the tie-being made about an inch from the scalp 13 of the head being worked upon, as is well known to those skilled in the art.

The hair is then placed between the lip 8 and the wall 9 and drawn into the opening 6 as shown in Figure 4. The operator then turns the winder until the axially extending rectilinear edge of opening 6 is brought into close engagement with the hair and continues such turning motion, while at the same time 35 slowly advancing the winder along the rod. This motion will cause the hair to be wound upon the rod in the manner shown at 14.

The unwound hair will be held in proper I position by the lip 8 as shown at .15 during this operation. 7

When the hair is nearly wound upon the rod, the operator places a strip ofgauze or crepe wool under the lip 8, which istied onto the rod with a strand of twine after the winding operation leavingthe hair securely wound and fastened upon the rod.

It is thus seen that I haveprovided a.

winder for use incombination with perma nent wave machines that easily and efficient- 1y accomplishes the hair-winding operation without the necessity of extensive and skillful manual operations.

It will further be noted that because of the rectangular construction of the hair-engaging Walls of the opening in the winding chamber, and the tapered formation of the remaining wall, the hair will be wound upon the rod with an evenness and uniformity not easily attained by manual means.

I claim: r

1. A device for winding hair or the like on a rod, comprising a chamber having an opening therein and a slot communicating with said opening for admitting the hair thereinto, the walls of the chamber formingsaid slot being in overlapping -relationship,

wherebyto facilitate entry of hair thereinto.

; 2. A device for winding hair or the like on a rod, comprising a chamber having an opening therein, and a slot communicating with .said opening for admitting the hair thereinto, anda lipextending in overlapping relationship to the wall of said chamber and above said slot to retain the hair in said opening.

3. A device for Winding hair or the like on a rod, comprising a chamber having an opening therein and a slot communicating with said opening for admitting'the' hair thereinto, and a lip extending in overlapping relationship with the wall of said chamber adjacent the slot, said lip being bent outwardly adjacent the mouth of said slot for facilitating entry of the hair into said'slot.

A A device for windinghair or the like on a rod, comprising a chamber having an opening therein and a slot communicating with said opening for admitting the hair thereinto, and a lip-extending over said slot, said lip being curled outwardly to retain the hair thereabove during the winding operation.
